THE SOLUTION

Following consideration of proposal from various Vendors, Big Orange awarded the digital menu board contract to E Display Inc. The project rollout has been initiated from the Big Orange location at Cambridge Centre, in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

E Display assembled a custom turn-key solution for Big Orange based on their individual need. Four commercial grade 47” LG High Definition LED displays were installed at this location. The displays were uniformly landscape mounted using commercial grade mounts in conformance with Big Orange’s menu layout. The screens were networked to state of the art Media Player PC’s selected to offer quality and durability needed for mission critical commercial environments. The Media players are powered by E Display’s SaaS (Signage-as-a-Service) platform. “E Display SaaS” is E Display’s industry leading cloud based digital signage software that can be accessed on a PC or from any mobile device via the internet. The software is easy to use and allows all the latest and greatest functionality like Multiple Zones, Tickers, RSS feeds, IP Video, Animations and much more. E display offers both self-managed and fully-managed service to its customer. Big Orange opted to go with the fully managed service which allows them to focus on their core business. E Display manages and monitors their network and is available 24/7 for real-time content changes or support. As an added value E Display liaises on-behalf of the client with hardware manufacturers to immediately fix or swap malfunctioning hardware according to the warranty terms.

E Display worked closely with Big Orange on their menu content for the digital medium. E Display re-designed the menu content and added motion graphics to make it more appealing and inviting while keeping in line with the client’s brand image. E display worked with Big Orange each step of the way from initial consultation to install to successfully deliver a solution that addressed the client’s individual business need.
